An unmissable opportunity for theatremakers is now open for applications at the Royal Exchange Theatre in partnership with Susan Hodgkiss

Open for applications now The Hodgkiss Award 2016 invites exceptional artists and companies based in the North of England to apply. You need a bold, original idea for a piece of live performance-based work. The winning idea will be inventive, urgent and unconstrained by pre-existing notions of what theatre can be!

The winner will get £4,000 prize money, ongoing support and mentorship from the Royal Exchange Theatre, a week long R&D period to play and develop the idea, and a 3 week rehearsal period with fully supported outcome for the work in one of the Exchange’s performance spaces in Spring/Summer 2017, with a production budget for its realisation.
